FJP protesters vowed to remain in the streets in spite of the violence, and said they will not accept the “interim” government imposed by the junta. President Morsi and materially all of the top FJP leadership are now missing, detained at locations unknown without charges.

The African Union has also become the first international body to take serious note of the coup, announcing that it will suspend Egypt’s membership until civilian rule is restored. This is standard practice in the AU, though with many Western nations refusing to call the coup a “coup” it was uncertain if the AU would simply gloss over it as well.

One needs to ask the question.., freedom and justice party for whom. For Muslims brotherhood and those who support the Saudi and or Wahhabis, or the interests of USA and English monarchism and therefor for Morsi to establish the shariah laws and calling his act against democracy a freedom and justice party… For whom..? The definition of the word freedom is for one or the other thing or matters or humans society to be free, the definition of justice in a social system is where a just or rights of people to be protected and respected, no government can take either of these maters away from people, if they do that's where democracy is violated and people will demand for it. A functioning democracy is about people freedom and peoples social rights, in such system, the freedom of people is what a dictatorial regime is after, when they able to steal the people's "wealth", people become slaves by either religious dictatorial regime or the vulture capitalism. At the present time the Turkish people nor the Egyptians, nor the Saudis, or UAE or the Europeans or the Americans and etc. are enjoying their social economic nor their social political rights under the ruling systems. Where a police states is the alternative to a functioning democracy then there is no democracy at all.

So the gloves are off. The "democrats" are killing along with the police and army. The other side has no rights, they aren't allowed protest, they're not human. The Mubarak era come back. When thousands of the brotherhood were assassinated and tens of thousands imprisoned and tortured. Luckily, things have returned to "normal" now.
